Carbon Compliance
Meet CBAM, Scope 1-3 disclosures, and certificate requirements
For: Sustainability Director · ESG Manager · Environmental Compliance Officer
The challenge
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism requires quarterly embedded emissions reports starting now, with full financial adjustment from 2026. Saudi Arabia is developing its carbon crediting and offset framework under the Saudi Green Initiative. The UAE mandates ESG disclosures for listed companies. Meanwhile, calculating Scope 3 emissions across suppliers still takes weeks of manual data gathering — and errors in methodology can invalidate an entire reporting period. Spreadsheet-based GHG accounting cannot keep pace with the volume, frequency, and auditability these regulations demand.
Meridia modules that help
How it works
- 1
Calculate Scope 1 from fuel records
Import fuel consumption records — natural gas, diesel, LPG — and apply IPCC emission factors by fuel type. Automate the conversion from volumetric consumption to CO₂e using calorific values and oxidation factors per GHG Protocol methodology.
- 2
Calculate Scope 2 from grid consumption
Pull metered electricity consumption from connected facilities and apply location-based emission factors from grid operators (ECRA in Saudi Arabia, EWEC in Abu Dhabi, NEPCO in Jordan). Calculate market-based Scope 2 using I-REC certificates and PPA contractual instruments.
- 3
Estimate Scope 3 from supply chain data
Collect supplier-specific emission data where available and fall back to spend-based or activity-based estimation methods for remaining categories. Prioritize the Scope 3 categories material to your industry — typically purchased goods, upstream transportation, and waste treatment.
- 4
Generate compliance reports and manage certificates
Produce CBAM quarterly reports with product-level embedded emissions, ESG disclosure documents with auditable data trails, and I-REC retirement schedules. Maintain a certificate portfolio view showing coverage against your market-based Scope 2 claims.
